It is refreshing to read another source note the
important selection points of an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)
solution.This forum cannot address
every aspect for every option for every organization.Each business has its own drivers.Two companies that are alike may struggle in
different areas, so their needs will be different.

The process to
determine the need remains the constant.

“When ERP
projects succeed, businesses usually see value from two sources: 1. Automation of streamlined processes and 2.
An ability to make more effective data-driven decisions. Achieving this success starts with choosing
the right solution for your business. This
white paper gives your manufacturing or distribution business specific tips to
get the most out of an ERP system.”

Highlights:

·Justify the business need for the solution:

Build a business case for ERP.

Define your business requirements.

Readiness check for your organization.

·Drive ERP Success:

Build the right team.

Avoid canned solutions.

Due diligence is your responsibility.

The article is three pages, a quick read, and certainly not
designed to answer all of your questions.It should actually make you start
thinking about questions to ask.Paramount is that you need a trusted advisor to help you through the
self evaluation, selection and implementation process.

For
success you need to take a team approach, find solutions that match your
challenges and ensure that the solution actually matches your company’s
culture.For example, there may be two “equal”
solutions, yet one requires eight steps to ship a complete order and another
requires five.The extra steps in one
solution may give you greater audit and observability in the process, but it
might also be overkill for your needs and the extra steps will drive down efficiencies
not increase them.Both work, which one
works for you?
